Anybody use them? I got one this weekend and want to shoot it. Any help?

Thanks

I'd suggest using a 357 or bigger to make sure it is REALLY dead with the 1st shot...

All joking aside I assume your talking about the older Kodak film camera instead of the newer disposable version. I think the older versions used the 127 film IIRC. I loved all of the Brownies I owned. Great cameras for the price.

yep the brownie is a 127, which is near impossible to get at least in Australia, but it is the same size a 120 film, a fairly commonly available format, except that the spools are wider at the ends. The industrious of us will shave them down to make them fit. But I imagine that there's some industrious US citizen who's done it for you for a price.

Have fun!

If I remember correctly, 127 film is narrower than 120 (the square formats are 4cm x 4cm pics on 127, 6cm x 6cm pics on 120), so cutting 120 down to 127 would be very difficult - I thought it was 620 film that was the same as 120 but on smaller diameter spoools...

MrBI shall defer to what I'm sure is a better knowledge base, I have only been drawing upon memory, and the recommendations of a 'old skooler' i once worked with. I can only say Google is your friend and at this time I am developing a far deeper knowledge of 127 than i ever felt I needed

What made the size easy to remember for me was that Rollie used to make a cute grey 127 version of their famous 120 twin-lens reflex camera, the Rollieflex.I managed to find the following pic that shows the size difference, and also shows their extremely cute (but low-spec) digital tribute to their twin-lens reflex camera line.The big one is the 120 film camera, the middle one the 127 camera, and the tiny one is jewellry:

Is there anyone here that wants to buy a Kodak Brownie Starflex Outfit? A friend just asked me if I knew anyone that wanted one of these cameras. She has a new in the box Brownie Starflex Outfit including flash bulbs and an original roll of film. She would like $20.00 plus shipping.
